Vince McMahon on John Cena and Roman Reigns, EVOLVE on Indie Star Working NXT Tapings, NXT Gear

Mr. McMahon

– As noted, top indie stars Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa worked a tag team match at Thursday’s WWE NXT TV at Full Sail University. EVOLVE mentioned this blurb on Gargano working the tapings in their e-mail blast today:

“Congrats to Johnny Gargano on his return to NXT last night. The upcoming weeks of NXT on Wednesday nights on the WWE Network should be very interesting. Gargano is still with WWN and he will return home to EVOLVE this weekend. We are very proud when we look at the NXT tapings and WWE TV every week and see many names from WWN including Gargano, Apollo Crews, Solomon Crowe, Neville, Kalisto, Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose among others. You can jump on the bandwagon now and support the new generation with EVOLVE this week.”

– WWE has released new NXT t-shirts for Blue Pants, Tyler Breeze, Bull Dempsey, Apollo Crews and “The Hype Bros.” Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley. Below is the Blue Pants shirt for Leva Bates, who isn’t signed to the company as far as we know:

– We noted before that Roman Reigns and WWE United States Champion John Cena were listed on DoSomething.org’s “Athletes Gone Good” list for their charitable work. Vince McMahon tweeted the following on them today:
